Hi Pebble

I have been on pain medication for 7 years now and it is definately a roller coaster ride.

i suffer from lower back chronic pain and thanks to a botched operation i now have a left leg that has reduced sensation and buckles without warning, i have to use 2 crutches to get about.

i find i have pushed all my family and friends away, they mean well but they can not really understand what it is like to live day by day in constant chronic pain.

i try and little victories when i can, even it its something as simple as coming on here to search for a sympathetic ear from someone going through the same thing.

i have been trying to cope on my own for some time, and i havent been doing a very good job of it to be honest.

im awaiting a SCS implant trial so there maybe some chance of me getting of the morphine, fingers crossed !!

I hope you are having a good day today, if not try for a little victory.

kind regards

Chris ( a UK limey )
